- mix of dedicated and cloud-based contact center solutions provide high quality and efficient multi-channel customer support
KONE, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, has chosen Orange Business to provide two contact center solutions covering 25 sites in 22 countries. This two-part solution helps KONE achieve greater customer satisfaction while improving operational efficiency of its customer service and sales support.
Headquartered in Finland, KONE has more than 1 million elevators and escalators in its maintenance base in close to 60 countries, resulting in efficient and reliable customer support being a business imperative. In order to meet KONE’s precise needs at various locations Orange Business tailored its offer.
KONE has deployed Managed Contact Center Premium, based on Avaya EMC technology, at its large service and business support centers and the award-winning Flexible Contact Center, a cloud-based solution, at its Singapore and Eastern European support centers. In addition to achieving greater customer satisfaction, these contact center solutions enable KONE to have a more efficient customer support organization with faster turn-around times for product information, customer quotes, invoices and customer requests.
Tailored solutions for different market requirements
The multi-channel Managed Contact Center Premium solution, including e-mail, chat and voice serves KONE large sites in Europe, the Middle-East and North America. This contact center application is business-critical because it is used to support entrapment rescue, and it is integrated into both KONE’s remote monitoring platform and its Salesforce CRM software.
The cloud based Flexible Contact Center solution meets the needs of KONE’s smaller sites. This flexible cloud solution provides the ability to mix channels easily, such as voice and email, and is quick to set up. Integrating the solution with its CRM software, Salesforce, allows KONE’s contact center agents to have the same user interface, regardless of the communication channel used.
